VAPORIZER AND BURNER FOR GASOLINE AND OlL STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 336,745, dated February 23, 18H6.

Application filed October 18, 1884. Serial No. 145,865. (No modeLl To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, BERNARD REIN, a citizen of the United States, resid-ing at Urbana, in the county of Champaign and State of Ohio,

haveinvented certain new and useful Improve-l ments in Vaporizers and Burners for Gasoline and Oil Stoves, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to vaporizers for gasoline and coal oil stoves.

The'primary object of the invention is to provide avaporizer for hydrocarbons that will quickly and completely volatilize light and heavy oils. Again, a desired object is to provide a vaporizer which can be opened and cleaned.

The several objects desired are attained by the construction of a vaporizer as shown in 2o the accompanying drawings, and which Will be hereinafter described in the specification.

In the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my improved vaporizer and the pipes leading from the supply and to the oil-cup; Fig. c5 2, a plan view of same, and Figs. 3 and 4 sections of same.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the vaporizer A is shown with pipeconnections C D, of the usual form and construction. The 3o vaporizer A, of any desired form, is provided with interior corrugations, a. These channels or corrugations are preferably in the form of a volute. A cover, B, makes the vaporizer air-tight. I may, however, make the vaporizerin theform of a coil, as shown in Fig. 2.

In every instance ,the vaporizer is made of copper or an alloy containing a preponderance of copper.

It is well known that the vaporizers in coal- 4o oil and gasoline stoves ultimately become foul by reason of a deposition of carbonaceous Inatter on the sides of t'ue vaporizer. This checks the ready heating ofthe vaporizer, and causes,

to acertaiu extent, the noxious odors given off by such stoves. In my device this is renie- I5 died by the removable cap or cover B, which permits the interior of the oil-chamber to be reached and any sediment or deposit removed. The coiled or volute surface of the interior has the function of causing the oil and vapors 5o to travel over a greater surface, so that in its passage the vaporization will be complete and Waste avoided. I find by this construction that the heaviest hydrocarbons can be utilized for consumption in oil or gasoline stoves quite as readily and with as good results as the lighter refined and more expensive oils or fluids.

The form of the vaporizer may be round, rectangular, oval, or it may be of copper pipe, 6o as desired. The channels a may be deep or shallow, as may be deemed preferable, and the cap B be secured to the chamber A in any suitable air-tight way.

Having thus described myinvention, whatI claim as new, and desire t0 secure by Letters Patent, is-

A vaporizer for gasoline or oil stoves consisting of the chamber A, having a continuous interior open volute channel, a, in combina 7o tion with the removable cover and an oil supply and delivery pipe, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

BERNARD REIN.
